Lessons learned practices in the engineering, procurement and construction sector
The exploitation of lessons learned to improve performance on future projects is
highly desirable for many construction organisations. The vision of an organisation
that can readily recall what went well on a project and attempt to recreate those
successes as well as avoiding the repetition of past mistakes offers commercial
sense. This paper adopts a case study methodology to investigate how Canadian
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies address lessons
learned on their construction projects. The paper concludes with a number of
recommendations for UK companies regarding how the process may be improved in
terms of encouraging lessons learned to occur, the timing of lessons learned
sessions, identifying participants, the format for documenting lessons learned and
how these should be disseminated.
